Les communautés au service de l’innovation
No full textInternational audienceL’innovation a connu dans les entreprises des changements profonds depuisles quinze dernières années. Acquérir et co-créer de nouvelles connaissances à travers des stratégies d’innovation est ainsi devenu un facteur de succès pour le développement de l’entreprise. Après s’être majoritairement appuyée sur les services formels de R&D et des bureaux d’étude de l’entreprise, l’innovation est aujourd’hui l’affaire de tous. Les communautés, qu’elles soient internes, externes ou mixtes, participent aussi de plus en plus à l’innovation en étant une source de connaissances et d’idées de valeur. La question est alors de trouver la bonne interface entre ces communautés et les processus d’innovation de l’organisatio
When social movements close institutional voids: Triggers, processes, and consequences for multinational enterprises
No full textInternational audienceOur research builds on existing literature examining institutional voids in emerging economies. Using data from two cases of mining FDI in Argentina, we conceptualize the triggers, processes and consequences of informal institution-building by a social movement. We found the cases to exhibit different ‘community sustainability orientations’, enabling two contrasting strategies, ‘bargaining’ and ‘gatekeeping’, to address the existing institutional void. This led to the development of new formal institutions – regulated CSR for the former and legal ban on mining operations for the latter case. Our study thus offers insights into the processes through which institutional entrepreneurship by social movements influences MNEs
Artisanal and small-scale mining methods and the Sustainable Development Goal 6: Perceived implications for clean water supply
No full textInternational audienceThis paper aims to examine methods of artisanal and small-scale mining (ASM) in Ghana, map their perceived impacts on water resources, and analyse the implications of these perceptions for meeting the targets related to Clean Water of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 6 (SDG 6). The paper draws on 74 interviews with artisanal and small-scale gold miners and other stakeholders to investigate communities’ perceptions of the effects of ASM methods (alluvial mining, surface/open-pit mining, and underground mining) on water bodies. We find that different ASM methods impact surface and groundwater in distinct ways while concurrently having a synergistic negative effect on water bodies. Stakeholders – including community leaders – perceive that the mining methods employed in ASM cause various forms of environmental degradation – thus affecting progress towards SDG 6, target 6.3 (water quality) – and severely hinder the availability of clean water for domestic and agricultural purposes, thus endangering the livelihoods of communities and affecting progress towards SDG 6, target 6.4 (sustainable water use). The community perceived impacts of ASM activities on water resources have implications for community acceptance of formalisation efforts in Ghana. We contend that a better understanding of these perceived impacts can help shape the country’s policy for achieving the targets of SDG 6 in relation to Clean Water by 2030. In particular, we propose that the integration of the Community Mining Scheme as part of formalisation efforts of informal gold mining in Ghana not only responds to SDG 6 target 6b (participation of local communities in water management) but also has the potential to reverse the current large-scale mining ‘bias’ in policy, while addressing the galamsey challenge that contributes to the increasing impact of informal gold mining on SDG 6, targets 6.3 and 6.4
American Latter-Day Saint Business Leaders: A Meta-Ethical, Prosocial, and Transformational Leadership
No full textInternational audienceThis article seeks to understand how religion informs the managerial discourse of American managers and business leaders who are members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, commonly known as the "Mormon Church". These managers represent an active, if not hyperactive, minority in the American managerial landscape but academic studies about them are extremely limited. We rely on interviews with 12 American managers from this church to understand how their beliefs and the history of their religion influence their managerial vison and practices. Our findings reveal a religiously-informed managerial approach with an ethic of genuine care for individual well-being as a way to attain collective success. This approach is based on five empirical principles: first, active faith leading to personal and collective transformational leadership; second, a search for divine guidance or "revelation" in the decision-making process; third, a "spirit of Deseret" culture that fosters unity in diversity in a "beehive" organizational culture; fourth, goodwill as a source of mutual trust and loyalty; and fifth, a family-oriented business culture. The discussion portrays these religiously-driven managers by also evoking the limits of their prosocial and transformational leadership

Ce courantconclue à la nécessité de la participation aux décisions,aux profits et au capital des salariés au sein de l’entreprise.De ces trois formes de participation, la participationdes salariés à la gouvernance ou codéterminationfait encore débat.

Does students’ satisfaction matter to faculty job satisfaction in higher education?
No full textInternational audienceDrawing on the marketing aspects of customer satisfaction, this paper provides insights into the relationship between students’ and lecturers’ satisfaction in a higher education institution. The study critically adopts the logic of relationship marketing, arguing that students’ satisfaction affects lecturers’ job satisfaction. The relationship between students’ and lecturers’ satisfaction is explored using Balance Theory and Herzberg’s Motivation Theory. The Critical Incident Technique is used for data collection through interviews with student-lecturer dyads. The findings indicate that lecturers’ job satisfaction increases when students’ holistic feedback is explicitly shared with lecturers. Hence, investing in the communication of students’ satisfaction enhances lecturers’ job satisfaction. The current work adds a critical perspective to the relationship between lecturers’ and students’ satisfaction. It highlights a reversal of the accepted logic of relationship marketing, arguing that students’ satisfaction affects lecturers’ satisfaction. The methodological contribution of this work offers a new approach to using critical incident analysis techniques in dyads of students and lecturers
